Hargraves ___________ APPROVED: Brian Jordan, PhD Committee Director Jeremiah Dancy, PhD Committee Co-Director Benjamin Park, PhD Committee Member Abbey Zink, PhD Dean, College of Humanities and Social Sciences DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to my husband who encouraged me to pursue my dreams. Thank you to my Academic Advisor who guided me through the process and kept me on track despite numerous hurdles both big and small. iii ABSTRACT Hargraves, Lisbeth A. The Nimitz Graybook: How the United States Naval War College Influenced the Pacific Campaign During World War II. Master of Arts (History), May, 2020, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas. The Nimitz Graybook is an eight-volume collection of the command decisions of Fleet Admiral Nimitz. The collection covers the everyday tasking of commanders, communications and every major decision in the United States Naval Pacific Campaign from December 7, 1941 through August 31, 1945. The entire eight volume series was digitized in 2014 but scholarly research on the four-thousand-page collection has been limited to this date. While it is difficult to accurately link the effect of professional military education to the outcome of real-world battles there are some instances where this can be done.

John’s younger brother was Governor Samuel Ashe (1725-1813), for whom Asheville, North Carolina was named.
